Size guide
Find the right adult nappy size
Use this guide to compare pads, slips and pull-ups. For the best fit, measure the waist or hips and choose the product style that matches the wearer's mobility and changing routine.
Slips for higher absorbency and assisted changes
Slips fasten at the sides and work well for heavy leakage, overnight use, bowel leakage or care while lying down.
| Size | Typical fit |
|---|---|
| Small | Usually around 60-90 cm waist or hip |
| Medium | Usually around 80-120 cm waist or hip |
| Large | Usually around 100-150 cm waist or hip |
| X-Large | Usually around 130-170 cm waist or hip |
Fit checks
- Measure around the waist or hips at the widest comfortable point.
- The tapes should fasten securely without cutting into the skin.
- Choose slips for higher absorbency needs or when a carer assists with changes.
Sizing questions
Should I measure the waist or hips?
Measure the widest comfortable point, usually the waist or hips, and use that measurement against the product size range. If the wearer is between sizes, fit and body shape matter more than the label.
Why does the correct size still leak?
Leaks can happen when the product is too loose, the absorbency is too low, or the style does not match the wearer. Try a closer fit, a higher drop level or a slip for heavier needs.
Are pull-ups and slips sized the same way?
Both use waist or hip measurements, but pull-ups need enough stretch for independent changes while slips need secure side tapes for assisted changes and heavier protection.
When should I add bed protection?
Add bed protection when leaks reach linen, when the wearer sleeps for long stretches, or when a backup layer makes daily care and cleaning easier.
